Wow, surprised about that small pulley. Mine came with a 3.5 pulley and made just over 10 psi (though when I got my kit, it was only rated at 500 flywheel).

I know the hose you're talking about, but I'm not 100% sure how it connected. I believe mine came with a fitting to plug it into the OEM one.. I'll look back through the install pics (some in my gallery in the sig) and see if I can find a pic of it.

I found a pic of it.. sorta. It's already installed in this pic though.

I believe it's just a male/male connector so you can plug the OEM heat hose into the Whipple supplied one using two hose clamps.

I found one! It came pre installed in my hose, but you can see the end that fits into the OEM hose.

PM me your email and I'll shoot it over

*Page 19 of the install instructions has a very good pic of it as well*

Nothing a good set of DRs can't fix!

Gonna get some 15" sport stars with M/Ts, thinking about 555Rs for the street though.

If you click the High Res button you can just make out the hose with the two clamps on it.. Still looking through my HD trying to find pics from before it was installed.

Thanks, I just went to lowes and got a Male/Male fitting, got it set up thanks!

Everything is done, just wiring stuff now and about to put the intake on. I dont have a start up tune yet, waiting for Justin at VMP tuning to send me a limp tune. He said ill be fine with the 12 psi pulley, just pull some timing, but he did recommend the 10 from a tuning perspective.

Do yourself a favor and skip the 555Rs for the street and go straight to MT's ET Street ll's.. Dont make the mistake i made from the start. Ill be dumping my 305 555Rs as soon as my MT 305s come in,

I just got som nitto NT-01s for the rear a couple days ago and it makes a huge difference. It hooks very well now. With the 4.10s and my old yokohamas I couldn't get shit for traction. Tires will help is my point. I ramble. Lol.

So everything is done besides that one hose i need to grab a fitting for tomorrow, finished around 1030 and had a few victory beers. Anyone with a whipple have trouble getting that intake thingy on the throttle body? i could not get the whipple one on for the life of me! ripped my thumb apart trying. Just put on the C&L blue one for the mean time. Tried putting it in the oven, stretching it, nothing. Here are some pics to compare the size of the two, and of the finished product.

Your switched the two. The one with the bulge goes at the throttle body and the flat one goes at the filter end of the intake tube. Nice band aid.

+1... don't get the 555R. In addition to the M/Ts, M&Hs would be a great choice, too. That's what I have been running for years now. A couple others that might be worth a try on the street are the new Goodyears and Nitto NT05R.
